Students are introduced to the various states of matter. After watching a video, they discover how to compare the three states using its shape and volume. In groups, they participate in an experiment with solids, liquids and gases and...

Scientists participate in a variety of hands-on experiments in this ten-day unit on the three states of matter. Lessons incorporate literature, a-v materials, and poetry to help students differentiate between solids, liquids and gases.

High schoolers discuss and identify polygons and lines. In this geometry lesson plan, learners review liner, square and cubic units so they can incorporate it into the lesson plan on measurement and creating packing that are cost effective.

First graders identify various shapes in everyday objects. in pairs, 1st graders go on a shape field trip to locate various objects of different shapes. They photograph the objects and later use the prints to write sentences describing...

Connecting academic concepts to real-life applications is an important component of any lesson, especially with such topics as geometric shapes. In this instructional activity on geometric shapes, students answer word problems. This...

Students engage in a lesson plan that is concerned with finding the volume of a solid. They investigate and describe the characteristics of a favorite food and identify it as metal or non-metal. The lesson plan includes pictures of...

In this shapes worksheet, students identify shapes according to sentences that describe them. Students identify 8 shapes, but have 14 to choose from.

In this solid shapes learning exercise, students learn to identify and solve word problems that use solid shapes. Students solve six word problems about solid shapes.

Eighth graders review solid geometry and measurement with a partner. They identify shapes and how they are measured then complete a word processing exercise on a computer. They exchange papers for grading.

Learners view a video on making rock candy and identify the shapes they see while watching. In this 2 and 3 dimensional shape lesson, students recognize shapes and complete worksheets to identify them. Learners build a cube....

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

See all sides of the story with a activity on geometric shapes! After studying the example at the top, which matches polygons with solid figures, second graders circle shapes that are named in the directions. Next, they match polygons to...

Third graders study the three states of matter and identify the physical changes that take place between them. There is an initial teacher-led demonstration followed by a meaningful whole-class inquiry. These two activities should lead...

By using circles that they cut out and label themselves, learners literally "get a grip" on the angles they identify: supplementary, complementary, and vertical. They solve missing measurements based on properties of supplementary,...

Which of these shapes is congruent? Young geometers examine five familiar shapes: triangle, oval, rectangle, triangle, and circle. Each is followed by a set of shapes, of which one is congruent. They circle the congruent...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based lesson, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Third graders investigate shapes in our world. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders describe plane and solid shapes and identify angles, solid objects and lines of symmetry. Students use online resources, graphic organizers and conduct...

In this states of matter worksheet, students read about the changes in energy for matter to go from one state to another state. They complete a chart for each state of matter and identify the shape, the volume, its compressibility, the...

Students identify geometric solids.  In this shape lesson plan, students explore the characteristics of geometric solids.  They locate pictures of shapes on the internet, and identify the shapes.  Students draw pictures of...

Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on each figure.

Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

Students explore the three main forms of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. They examine concrete examples of each, using their five senses and "experimenting" to find differences in them. They find pictures of each, cut them out and past...
